117.4 @ Pats (stout D)
93.1 vs Broncos (same defense Mac faced)
139.8 vs Browns
99.8 @ Cardinals (stout D)
111.8 vs Dolphins (playoff team)
All since 2014. Plus plenty of other games where he was close to 87.8.
1. That throw was lofted 40 yards and proves nothing about his arm. Just ask the best deep thrower in team history:

When Mac can flick a 50 yard rope like this - on the run, wake me up:
Notice the difference in trajectory.
2. Ugh. McCarron is not Steve Young or Aaron Rodgers. Just stop. Both of those guys were regarded as exceptional QBs waiting in the wings. McCarron isn't held in the same regard by anyone but you.
3. Ah...Brady, Romo and Warner. You realize that there's been literally hundreds of QBs drafted late (or undrafted), and beyond those 3 examples, there's pretty much no late round/undrafted QBs that amounted to anything. Finding a franchise QB or even a good starter that late is around the same odds as getting struck by lightning. That's why those guys are all great stories.
4. McCarron has no major flaws. Got it.
1. Why would I ask Jeff Blake what he thinks about AJM's arm strength? What would his subjective opinion matter?
Maybe AJM could make throws that get you hot and bothered if he actually played in NFL games.
2. AJM is held in high regard by me, Nick Saban, Bill Polian, Bucky Brooks and many others. We all agree he should be a starter somewhere right now, and would be successful. You're throwing your hat in with Todd McShay who calls him a "third tier" QB with inadequate arm strength. Meanwhile McShay was really high on JaMarcus Russell, Brian Brohm, Blaine Gabbert, and other million dollar arms with ten cent heads.
3. Dak Prescott was drafted last year at the end of the 4th round. Kirk Cousins was drafted in the 4th round. You keep trying to make general statements yet it's easy to refute them from recent data. Jeff Garcia (undrafted), Russell Wilson (3rd round), Mark Brunell (5th round), the list goes on. It's also just as likely that a 1st round QB is a bust as it is that they end up a 5+ year starter in the league. So let's not pretend like being a 1st round QB is what makes you good, and not getting picked in the 1st and succeeding anyway makes you lucky or some one of a kind story.
Can we be done now? You keep making generalizations and none of them are rooted in reality.
